Canada World Cup Statistics

Canada's best FIFA World Cup finish is the Round of 16, achieved at the 2026 tournament as co-host. The squad drew with Bosnia and Herzegovina, defeated Qatar 6-0, then lost narrowly to Switzerland before beating South Africa in the Round of 32 and falling 3-0 to Morocco in the Round of 16. The 2026 performance stands as the clear high point of Canada's World Cup history, surpassing the group-stage exits recorded at the 1986 and 2022 tournaments. No prior campaign came close to matching that result, with the winless 2022 group stage representing the nation's next-best modern reference point before the 2026 breakthrough.

Canada's performance across each FIFA World Cup is listed below.

• 1986 FIFA World Cup: Canada made its tournament debut in Mexico but was eliminated in the group stage without scoring a goal or recording a point across three matches.
• 2022 FIFA World Cup: Canada competed in Qatar after a 36-year absence, scoring twice across three matches (including the nation's first-ever World Cup goal) but exiting winless in the group stage.
• 2026 FIFA World Cup: Canada advanced to the Round of 16 as co-host after recording 2 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses across five group-stage and knockout matches.

Canada finished second in Group B at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, behind Switzerland, after both nations advanced from a group that also featured Bosnia and Herzegovina and Qatar. Switzerland topped the group after beating both Bosnia and Herzegovina and Canada, while drawing with Qatar. Canada's group stage position reflected a campaign built on a dominant win over Qatar and a narrow defeat to the group winners. The runners-up finish secured progression to the Round of 32, where Canada defeated South Africa in Los Angeles before facing Morocco in Houston.
Canada World Cup Matches and Results

Canada's FIFA World Cup match results across the 2026 tournament are listed below, reflecting the co-host nation's breakthrough performances across the group stage and knockout rounds. Canada recorded wins over Qatar and South Africa, a draw against Bosnia and Herzegovina in the opening round, and defeats to Switzerland and Morocco. Canada's historical World Cup results span three tournament appearances from 1986 to 2026, with the 2026 campaign representing the program's first-ever World Cup wins and first-ever knockout appearance. The 2026 results confirm the modern squad's competitive capacity under Marsch's system, a marked shift from the winless campaigns of 1986 and 2022.

The teams Canada has beaten at the FIFA World Cup are listed below.

• Qatar (2026): Canada defeated Qatar 6-0 in the second Group B fixture at Toronto Stadium, with Jonathan David scoring a hat-trick among the six goals.
• South Africa (2026): Canada beat South Africa 1-0 in Los Angeles in the Round of 32, with Stephen Eustáquio scoring the decisive goal to secure the program's first-ever World Cup knockout win.

Canada's biggest FIFA World Cup victory is the 6-0 win over Qatar in the 2026 group stage, a result built on a Jonathan David hat-trick and the nation's highest-scoring performance in tournament history. Canada's biggest FIFA World Cup defeat is a 4-1 loss to Croatia at the 2022 tournament, a match that nonetheless produced Alphonso Davies' historic first-ever World Cup goal for the nation. The 3-0 defeat to Morocco in the 2026 Round of 16 represents the modern squad's heaviest tournament loss on the biggest stage, coming against a side that had already eliminated the Netherlands on penalties.

Switzerland arrived with a far deeper World Cup pedigree than co-host Canada, appearing in a 13th tournament with three quarterfinal finishes on record (1934, 1938, 1954) and a FIFA ranking of 17th, against Canada's third-ever appearance, a history limited to the group stage (1986 and 2022), and a ranking of 27th. That gap showed in Group B's final standings: Switzerland finished unbeaten with seven points from three matches, while Canada advanced on four points despite finishing below the Swiss. The two sides met on the final matchday in Vancouver with top spot on the line, and Switzerland pulled away in the second half through goals from Rubén Vargas and Johan Manzambi to win 2-1, sealing the group and extending their run to a fourth straight tournament reaching the knockout stage. Canada's defeat did nothing to derail a landmark campaign, since the co-hosts advanced to the Round of 32 for the first time in the nation's history regardless of the result, turning a group-stage loss to the more experienced Swiss into a footnote in the country's best-ever World Cup showing in Switzerland vs Canada Statistics matchup.

Canada's meeting with Qatar produced the most lopsided scoreline of the group stage and underlined the gulf in form between a co-host chasing history and a side already eliminated from contention. Qatar entered their second World Cup appearance ranked 51st, with a previous best of the group stage in 2022, while Canada came in ranked 27th chasing a first-ever knockout-stage berth in a third tournament appearance. The two nations met on June 18 in Vancouver, and Canada delivered a statement 6-0 rout that stands as the co-hosts' first win in World Cup history and a result that transformed their goal-difference tiebreaker for the rest of Group B. That margin proved decisive down the stretch, since Canada's six-goal advantage from the Qatar match ultimately separated them from Bosnia and Herzegovina on goal difference for second place in the group. Qatar, by contrast, finished the group stage with a single point and a single goal scored across three matches, closing out the tournament without a win in Canada vs Qatar Statistics matchup.

FIFA World Cup Betting Tips and Strategies

The best betting markets for Canada FIFA World Cup matches are listed below.

• Over 2.5 total goals: Canada's average of 1.8 goals scored per match, combined with defensive vulnerabilities against elite opponents, makes high-scoring outcomes statistically supported against mid-tier opposition.
• Both teams to score: Canada conceded in three of five tournament matches, making the both-teams-to-score market a statistically grounded selection against attacking opponents.
• Match winner: Canada's results against Qatar and South Africa confirm its capacity to win matches as a favorite, supporting match-winner markets against lower-ranked opposition.
• Anytime goalscorer (David): Jonathan David scored a hat-trick in a single group stage fixture, making the anytime goalscorer market a value selection given his conversion rate and shot volume.
• Asian handicap: Canada's mixed results across the tournament create value in handicap markets, particularly against opponents ranked significantly above or below the team's current level.

FIFA World Cup odds change before a match based on team news, injury updates, historical head-to-head data, and market movement from early bettors placing large volumes on specific selections. A confirmed injury to a key player (Jonathan David or Alphonso Davies) would shift Canada's match-winner price outward significantly in the hours before kickoff, as seen with Davies' hamstring issue heading into the tournament opener. Live odds adjust in real time, as goals, red cards, injuries, and momentum shifts occur during a match. Canada's first goal in a fixture compresses the match-winner price immediately, while a goal conceded extends Canada's odds and shortens the opponent's live pricing. UFABET's in-play platform reflects these movements instantly, creating short-window value opportunities for bettors monitoring live match data throughout the 90 minutes.

Canada's greatest FIFA World Cup players are listed below.

• Alphonso Davies: Davies scored Canada's first-ever World Cup goal at the 2022 tournament and captained the historic Round of 16 run in 2026, anchoring the program's modern breakthrough.
• Jonathan David: David scored a hat-trick against Qatar at the 2026 tournament, ending as Canada's all-time leading World Cup scorer across two editions.
• Stephen Eustáquio: Eustáquio delivered the decisive goal in Canada's first-ever World Cup knockout win against South Africa, producing one of the program's most celebrated individual moments.
• Tajon Buchanan: Buchanan contributed goals and assists throughout the 2026 campaign, establishing himself as a key attacking outlet during the co-hosted tournament.
• Milan Borjan: Borjan started every group-stage match at the 2022 World Cup, serving as Canada's first-choice goalkeeper during the program's return to the tournament after 36 years.

Jonathan David scored the most FIFA World Cup goals for Canada at the 2026 tournament, finishing the campaign with 3 goals across four appearances. David's tournament output places him as the program's most productive World Cup scorer, having contributed a hat-trick against Qatar through direct runs and clinical finishing. David's overall total across the 2022 and 2026 editions stands at 4 goals, making him Canada's all-time leading men's World Cup scorer ahead of Alphonso Davies. David's 2026 output represents the highest single-tournament return by a Canadian player in program history.

Stephen Eustáquio and Tajon Buchanan each recorded the most assists for Canada at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with 2 apiece across 5 matches. Eustáquio contributed assists through progressive passing and midfield playmaking, while Buchanan delivered creative output from the right flank. Canada's earlier World Cup campaigns in 1986 and 2022 produced minimal assist output given the program's limited scoring across those editions, making Eustáquio and Buchanan the most statistically documented assist contributors in Canada's World Cup history. Their shared record reflects the collective creative structure Marsch built across the tournament.

Alphonso Davies and Jonathan David each made the most FIFA World Cup appearances for Canada with 7 appearances apiece, spanning the 2022 and 2026 editions combined. Davies' captaincy and central attacking role confirm his position as the squad's most influential presence across both tournaments. Moïse Bombito, Alistair Johnston, Derek Cornelius, Richie Laryea, and Stephen Eustáquio each made 5 appearances at the 2026 tournament alone, representing the full five-match campaign without absences. Davies and David remain Canada's clear career leaders in World Cup appearances, because the national team has participated in only a few World Cup editions throughout its history.
Canada World Cup Goals and Scoring Records

Canada has scored 11 goals across three FIFA World Cup appearances, reflecting the program's rapid transformation into a legitimate attacking side at tournament level. The 1986 World Cup in Mexico contributed zero goals across three matches, while the 2022 tournament in Qatar added 2 goals, including Alphonso Davies' historic opener against Croatia. The 2026 tournament added 9 goals to Canada's all-time total across five matches, confirming the modern squad's attacking capacity under Marsch. Canada's goals-per-match average across all World Cup appearances is approximately 1.0, reflecting the dramatic recent improvement driven largely by the 2026 campaign.

Alphonso Davies' opening goal against Croatia at the 2022 World Cup ranks as Canada's most famous World Cup goal, marking the nation's first-ever goal at the tournament and arriving within the opening two minutes of the match. The goal produced widespread celebration across Canada despite an eventual 4-1 defeat, symbolizing the program's long-awaited return to the World Cup stage. Jonathan David's hat-trick against Qatar at the 2026 tournament represents the most prolific individual scoring performance in Canada's World Cup history, with his three goals driving the squad's dominant 6-0 win. Stephen Eustáquio's Round of 32 winner against South Africa marks the beginning of a new chapter in Canada's modern World Cup knockout legacy.

Canada's highest-scoring FIFA World Cup match is the 6-0 victory over Qatar in the 2026 group stage at Toronto Stadium. The match produced six goals across 90 minutes, with Jonathan David's hat-trick leading the rout alongside additional goals from Cyle Larin, Tajon Buchanan, and Stephen Eustáquio. The result marked Canada's largest-ever World Cup winning margin and remains the program's most complete attacking performance at tournament level. The match is commonly referenced as the defining statement of Marsch's high-pressing system, played in front of a capacity home crowd during the co-hosted tournament.
Canada World Cup Discipline Statistics

Canada received 9 yellow cards and 0 red cards across five matches at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, reflecting a physically engaged but controlled disciplinary record. Ismaël Koné and Samuel Piette each received 2 yellow cards, placing both players at risk of suspension had Canada advanced further into the knockout stage with additional bookings.
Canada's full World Cup history includes disciplinary records from the 1986 and 2022 tournaments, although those competitions were tracked with less statistical depth than modern standards, making the 2026 campaign the program's most complete disciplinary data set. Canada's 2026 record of zero red cards reflects Marsch's emphasis on disciplined pressing rather than reckless challenging across the tournament.

Ismaël Koné and Samuel Piette each received the most FIFA World Cup bookings for Canada at the 2026 tournament, accumulating 2 yellow cards apiece across five matches. Both players' bookings reflect their central roles in Canada's high-pressing defensive structure, with midfield duels and tactical fouls generating the majority of disciplinary actions.
Canada's earlier World Cup disciplinary data remains less comprehensive, because historical tournaments did not record disciplinary statistics with the granularity used today. Koné and Piette therefore stand as the most statistically documented players in terms of Canadian World Cup bookings within the modern data tracking era.

FIFA World Cup disciplinary statistics are recorded by tracking every yellow card and red card issued by the referee during a match. Official match reports assign each disciplinary action to the player, team, and match minute in which it occurs, with records compiled by FIFA's official match commissioners and technical staff present at every fixture. Yellow card statistics measure cautions for offenses (unsporting behavior, persistent fouling, dissent, and delaying play). Red card statistics measure dismissals caused by serious fouls, violent conduct, or accumulation of two yellow cards in a single match. These records get compiled across all tournament stages to evaluate team discipline and player behavior throughout the competition. Card metrics help assess tactical aggression, defensive intensity, and game management across the full World Cup campaign.
Canada World Cup Team Statistics

Canada averaged 53% possession and 85% pass accuracy across five matches at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The team completed an average of 392 passes per match, reflecting a structured build-up approach that combines Marsch's pressing principles with controlled ball circulation through midfield and defensive lines. Long ball accuracy averaged 61 percent and cross accuracy 22 percent across the tournament, indicating moderate effectiveness in switching play and creating wide attacking opportunities. Progressive passes totaled 87 per match on average, demonstrating consistent attempts to advance the ball through midfield and generate forward movement across all five fixtures.

Canada and Bosnia and Herzegovina entered the 2026 World Cup with similarly thin résumés. Canada made a third appearance with a group-stage ceiling (1986, 2022) and a FIFA ranking of 27th, against Bosnia and Herzegovina's second appearance, capped at the group stage (2014), and a ranking of 71st. Canada and Bosnia and Herzegovina ended up level on points after the group phase. Canada and Bosnia and Herzegovina opened the tournament against each other on June 12, playing to a 1-1 draw in Toronto that set the tone for a tightly contested Group B. Both nations finished with four points, with Canada's blowout 6-0 win over Qatar ultimately providing the decisive goal-difference edge over Bosnia and Herzegovina's own 3-1 win in the same fixture on the final matchday. That tiebreaker sent Canada through as the group's second-place finisher, while Bosnia and Herzegovina advanced separately as one of the tournament's best third-place teams, meaning both nations reached the knockout stage from a group they effectively shared on points in Canada vs Bosnia and Herzegovina Statistics matchup.

Canada compares favorably with several Group B and knockout-round opponents in attacking output, scoring 9 goals across five matches, ahead of Bosnia and Herzegovina (4) and Qatar (2) across the group stage. Canada's possession average of 53% places the squad in a competitive tier among (CONCACAF) nations at the 2026 tournament, though Switzerland's 58 percent average confirmed a clear gap against the group's most technically disciplined side. Canada's 6 goals conceded across five matches represent a moderate defensive record, undermined largely by the heavy Round of 16 loss to Morocco. Canada's shots-per-match average of 13.6 ranks competitively among CONCACAF nations at the tournament, reflecting an attacking output level consistent with Round of 16 contention.
